The face is characterised by a broad forehead with a subtle raised crest, deeply recessed circular eye openings, pronounced arched brows, an elongated nose and a wide mouth revealing individually carved teeth. Its intense expression gives the mask a powerful and somewhat enigmatic presence.<\/p>\n Within the traditionally stratified society of the Dayak Maloh, masks of this nature were associated with regional shamans, known as balian<\/em> or manang<\/em>, and were believed to play a role in spiritual healing, soul-catching ceremonies and protective rituals. The formidable facial expression was not intended simply to frighten human observers, but to confront and repel malevolent forces and illness-causing spirits, commonly referred to as hantu<\/em>. Such masks reflect the important role of shamans in mediating between the human and spiritual worlds, particularly in matters of healing, protection and spiritual well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center
